Choosing a thermal and UV protection suit, often referred to as a wetsuit or a drysuit, is important for staying comfortable and protected in various water activities, such as surfing, diving, snorkeling, or paddleboarding. Here are some tips to help you select the right suit:

Determine your activity type:
Consider the specific water activity you´ll be doing. Wetsuits are suitable for activities where you expect to get wet but want some insulation, while drysuits are designed for keeping you completely dry in cold water.

Know your water temperature:
The water temperature is a critical factor in choosing between a wetsuit and a drysuit and in selecting the appropriate thickness or type of suit. Here´s a general guideline:
Warm Water: A shorty wetsuit or rash guard for UV protection may be sufficient.
Mild to Cool Water: A full wetsuit with varying thickness 3mm to 5mm is suitable.
Cold Water: A thicker full wetsuit 5mm or more or a drysuit with thermal undergarments is recommended.

Consider UV protection:
If you´re exposed to the sun, choose a suit that offers UV protection. Look for a suit with a high Ultraviolet Protection Factor UPF rating. Some wetsuits have built in UV protection, while others require wearing a rash guard or UV shirt underneath.

Fit is crucial:
Ensure that the suit fits snugly but comfortably. A proper fit helps the suit function effectively and minimizes water entry.
Pay attention to sizing charts provided by the manufacturer and try the suit on if possible before purchasing.

Choose the right style:
Wetsuit styles include full suits, shorties, spring suits, and farmer john/jane suits. Choose the style that suits your water temperature and activity type.
Drysuits come in a variety of styles as well, including front entry, rear entry, and shell suits. Select the one that best suits your needs and comfort.

Consider seams and zippers:
High quality wetsuits have sealed, blind stitched, or glued and taped seams to prevent water entry. Drysuits often have waterproof zippers and seals at the wrists and ankles to keep water out.

Insulation and lining:
Insulated wetsuits have a lining material commonly neoprene that traps a thin layer of water next to your body, which your body then heats up to provide insulation. Drysuits rely on thermal undergarments for insulation. Choose appropriate undergarments for the water temperature.
